The OTA administration framework has been standardized in the early stages of OTA technology in ETSI/3GPP - 03.48 - Release 98 and OTA providers have adapted their OTA platforms to be able to address SIM cards issued by different card providers.

Proprietary SIM cards are using proprietary commands to be addressed over the air. The OTA platforms should embed proprietary libraries from the SIM suppliers to be able to administrate those cards. Thus proprietary cards do not need to be modified.

Gemalto develops and tests the necessary API for the SIM Supplier Library.
